Sometimes life nudges you in a direction you never expected. That’s exactly what happened when I met Clint Arthur, an expert in celebrity entrepreneurship, at a Jack Canfield event. It was a chance encounter that would change the trajectory of my journey as an entrepreneur and messenger of transformational ideas.
A Serendipitous Meeting
The meeting was pure serendipity. I was attending Jack Canfield’s "Breakthrough to Success" event, eager to expand my mindset and open myself to new possibilities. As we waited for the event to begin, I struck up a conversation with the man sitting next to me.
"Hi. My name is Trish. What is your name and what do you do?" I asked.
"My name is Clint, and I turn experts into celebrities," he replied.
His words hit me like a lightning bolt. "I turn experts into celebrities." Those five words burned themselves into my brain, igniting a spark of curiosity and possibility I couldn’t ignore.
"How do you do that?" I asked.
Though I don’t remember his exact response, I remember feeling intrigued and compelled to learn more. The event began, and we were soon broken into groups, scattering us in different directions. I didn’t see Clint again until the final session.
A Powerful Mastermind Connection
On the last day, I walked into the room with my colleague, Jan, deep in conversation about a book project we were co-authoring. We found our seats, and as I glanced to my left, there he was again sitting next to me. Goosebumps prickled my arms. I always pay attention to goosebumps.
During that session, Jack Canfield led a mastermind process, and by some sort of universal design, I found myself in Clint’s group. Observing how his mind worked was fascinating. He was intelligent, sharp, and direct—blunt, even—but always insightful. His depth of experience and ability to cut through the noise was undeniable.
At the event’s conclusion, I heard myself saying. "You’ve been on my mind since Day 1. I’m an expert. I need to be a celebrity. I heard myself stumbling over my words as I continued to babble—“not in the Hollywood sense, but in a way that gets my expertise, wisdom, and message out into the world.” “Join me in Acapulco. I would love to work with you,” he said.
Stepping Into the Unknown
As fate would have it, I had just sold my property, and the check from the proceeds had cleared. Clint extended an invitation to his high-end training event at his private villa in Las Brisas, Acapulco, Mexico. The event was just four weeks later. I didn’t think about details. I didn’t hesitate. Without overthinking or talking myself out of it, I signed up on the spot and made an investment in myself.
Life, as they say, begins outside of your comfort zone.
Finding Magic in Acapulco
Fast forward a month, and there I was in Acapulco, standing on the terrace of a stunning villa overlooking the Pacific Ocean. I was there for a purpose far greater than a simple training. It was a calling—a chance to step into the spotlight, share my message, and make a greater impact.
Clint’s training was intense, transformative, and nothing short of magical. Over those days, I was pushed, stretched, and challenged in ways I never anticipated. I learned that having a message and passion isn’t enough. To reach the world, you need media mastery, visibility, and the right positioning. And at the same time, you need to get fear out of your way and follow your heart.
The Power of Saying Yes
Reflecting on this journey, I see how every moment led me here—from striking up that initial conversation to embracing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity without hesitation.
The lessons I learned in Acapulco weren’t just about media strategies or personal branding. They were about trusting life's invitations, listening to that inner nudge, digging deeper into who we are and daring to say yes, even when the path ahead is unclear.
Life truly does begin outside your comfort zone. It’s where the magic happens. And in Acapulco, magic happened for me.
